TO FARMERS.
Firftlv, Preserve your WOOD, as
It grows scarce even in new towns; if
mere attention is not paid to this im
portant concern for time to come, in
fifty years great pait of the people will
f'ifier extremely for want of fuel. I am
alarmed for poilerity, when I confide r
how the wood has been lessened in the
lad forty years. It i* high time to
plant trees on every part of the lands
not otherwise improved—the pastures
and mowing lands in general would be
the better for many inore trees ; row»
should be planted by all the fences, &c
Remember time travels fact, and trees
grow (low ; therefore ye landholders up
and be doing.
Secondly™ To increase your crops,
remember often plowing is the famfc as
manure. Incresfe the growth of PO
TATOES—they have enriched our
country —-they supply the place of bread,
they feed cattle, iheep, hogs, horfw
and poultry, when boiled. They are
a source of wealth to the farmer.
Thirdly, Attend to your APPLE
TREES. For many years pad 1 sel
dom fee a young nursery of apple-trees)
and the old orchards are fatl decaying.
Attend more to orchards j they will
grow in old lands, if well plowed, arid
due cate taken of the trees; in this
way old orchards may be renewed.
fourthly, Keep more SHEEP on
your dry lauds* no creatures are so pro
fitable. Every farmer if poflible (hould
raise wool and flax fufficient to clothe
his family ; he that buys the produce
of other countries, will have an empty
purse.
TO TRADERS.
See that you do not trade too much,
by which means many are embafiiaffed
and many vuined. Regard truth, ho
nor, and punctuality, infinitely wore
than gain—those will gain.
TO ALL PEOPI.E.
Firstly, Those who wi'h to bve happi
ly and in fafety, mu&live within tWtif- in
come.
Secondly in religion, depart not too has
tily from the good old way of your Fathers,
unlets vou aye well allured a change of
fehtiiaent and practice will make you more
virtuous and. better. The heart and life
are molt to be regarded. When yoti are
told by free thinkers : faliely so called, that
the BIBLE is no further to be regarded
than its precepts accord with your ideas of
propriety, and all men will in the life to
come be equally happy ; pauie and consi
der whether bad men do not fuffer in this
world for their folly and vices ; and you
can have no aflurance that the fame vices
will not produce milery in the next. Ob
servation will convince you that those
called free thinkers or deifle, are not men
of deep thought or serious relledlion, but
are generally giddy light minds who think
little of eternal concerns.
Thirdly, In polities, as in religion,
think and confklcr well before you act;
the bold pretenders to patriotilm are often
as hollow hearted as the free thinkers in
religion, and as dangerous to follow.— —
Do nothallily diflruitoldfriends and faith
ful rulers, under whole guidance our
country has prospered. It is dangerous
to make experiments while we are pros
perous. Faults in government there al
ways was, and will be, but before we
change our rulers, let us conlider well
whether we (hall not rilk more by a change
than we are likely to gain ; efpecialjy at
this time when the world is so dreadfully
convulsed, arid too many are in our coun
try embracing wild notions in religion and
government. Every thing considered, our
government is moi*e free, and the people
more happy, than any other in the known
world. Therefore let us be thankful to
GOD, be fofcer and very deliberate in all
our conduct, as it is much easier to de
stroy than to build up a good government.
Europe presents an awful lelfon to Ame
rica, to be cool, steady, virtuous and wife,
and to preserve our excellent Constitu
tion ; to continue, if possible at peace
among ourfclves and with the world.
Great GOD ! pour down a spirit of
wisdom and true religion upon the Ame
rican people, and make them the patrons
of every virtue, and a praise in the whole
earth ! Amen.

Odlober 1794-
GOSHEN, October 28.
At a meeting of the Republican Socie
ty in Ulster county, held at the house
of John Carr, on the 17th inft. the
following resolutions were palled:
Resolved as the sense of this society.
1 ft, That resistance by force to the
execution of laws legally enacted, by a
majority of the representatives of the
people, is highly criminal, subversive of
the sovereignty of the people, and dan
gerous to the existence of a free govern
ment.
2d. Therefore resolved, that this so
ciety highly disapprove of the conduct
of the inhabitants of the western coun
ties of Pennsylvania, in opposing by force
and violence the execution of the excise
law of the United States.
3d. Resolved, that this society ap
prove of the condudt of the President of
the United States and the Governor of
Pennsylvania, for their laudable endea
vours to induce the insurgents to sub
mission, previous to an appeal to arms.
4th. Resolved, that whenever a law
is so odious and unpopular that it can
not be executed by the ordinary autho
rity of government, it is wife and politic
to repeal it: there being nothing more
pregnant with evil consequences to a
free government, than being reduced to
the ncceflity of arming one body of its
citizens again ft another, to enforce the
a&< of the legitlature.
sth. Resolved, that the indnuatibns
held forth in £bme of the miniiterial
prints, that republican societies are the
inftrutfiental cause of the prcfent infur
re&ion, are falfe, grooadlefs, insidious
and ungenerous aspersions ; as a fettled i
and rooted aversion and opposition to
the excise law has been manifetted by
th: present insurgents, long before the
eftabli(hment ol those focicties— S-i
it fc-as proper in this faeiety to -ecriira
nate, they might with juttice and
equal confidence afTert, 1 iut the £e;re
taty of the trdafury, who p'Oj<afed the
excise fyftetn, and the Cotigreis who a
s doptijd and refufed to repeal it, notwith
standing the repeated rcmonftrances,
and manifeftations of the rnoft confirm
ed iveriioris of these people, are the
leading causes of the tranfadiion.
TOASTS.
ift. The President of the United
States and the Democratic Societies
throughout the world.
2ci. May the armies of tyrants, when
opposed to ficcmen, ever experience the
fate of Btirgoyne. .
3d. The United States, may they
be as happy and refpc&able in peace as
they were vi&orious in war.
4th. The French Republic, may
they give its own terms to the tyrants
leagued againtt liberty.
sth. Major General Gates, »nd those
brave officers and fokliere who captured
Btjrgoyne and his
6th. Cili/.cti Eauciiet.
7th. Liberty, may it pervade the
universe.
Bth. The laws, may their wisdom &
eqtiality command refpeft.
(,th. Religion and morality, pure
and unalterated ; may they flourifli on
the mini of fuperllition and ecclesiastical
fraud.
I Oth. Educarioa and science, the
belt preservatives of public liberty ; may
they be cultivated with an ardour equal
to their importance.
nth. May the enemies of equal
rights in this land of liberty, and
throughout the world, labour under the
guillotine of a felf-tormenting con
science till they fee their errors and re
form.
12th. May the late defeat of the In
dians and theit white allies, the British.
by Gen. Wayne's army, be a prelud*
to nobler atcbi©veme*t». n "
13th. The fwinifti multitude —may
hey root out the feeds of tyranny in
every clime.
14th. Vi&ory and success to the
brave citizens of Poland, who are strug
gling for freedom under the aufpicies of
Kofciulko.
15th. May the Insurgents of Penn
sylvania resign their arms to the legal
and constitutional modes of redress, and
i harmony be speedily restored, without
| the effufion of human blood.
RUTLAND, (V«r.) Oift.it.
Col. John A. Graham, of Rutland,
according to his appointment, from this
state (by the Proteflant Episcopal Con
vention) as Agent to England, to ne
gociate the affairs of the Church, &c.
See. will leave thi» place in twenty days,
for New-York, where he expedU to em
bark for London.
We have the pleasure here to present
to the public, a specimen of printing
paper, manufactured from the bark of
the bafiwood tree, together with an e
qual proportion of common coatfe rags :
This is a new diicovery, made by Col.
Lyon, of Fairhaven, and promises fair
ly to accelerate the paper making busi
ness in this country, as the cost of the
bark, which abounds in great plenty,
is not more than one third as much as
the cost of rags.
This paper, for the want of journey
men paper makers in his mill, was made
by the hands of the Editor, who doe 9
not profefs a knowledge in the business;
besides this, the bark of which it was
made, was not properly enred, and sit
ed for the business, and the paper has
never been sized, but with allum and
water; notwithstanding all those disad
vantages, it makes a tolerable printing
paper. We are very confident that this
bark, when it is rightly cured, and pro
perly manufe&ured, without the afiift
ance of rags, will make paper, of a
quality suitable for common books, pa
per hangings, &c.
If this discovery <hould prove advama- 1
geous to mankind, we (hall be glad to bid
the world —welcome to it, without the
felfilh reserve of an exclusive priviledge or
patent right.
("The Rutland paper, made of the Ball
wood tree, may be seen at WeUller jmd

From the General Advertiser-
Tho' Mr. Wm. Smith (S. C) had
at the late election a plurality of votes
in the City of Charleston for member
of Congress, there is much reason to
doubt whether he will be the fuccefs
ful candidate, when the return is re
ceived from the remainder of the dif
tri&, to which British influence doe»
not extend.
Return of the -votes for the d'JlriH of
Charhjlon, for a Member of tie licuft

From the above it appears that Mr.
Smith (S. C. ) not only has a majority iri
of the votes of the whole diftrift of
Chailefton, but that he has a much
greater majority in the country than in
the City of Charleston.
Thus we fee that tho' the despicable
took of faction may abuse the public by
th«ir falfe anticipations —and the Dema
gogues of the moment may ins jit the ma
jelly of the people and outrage the sacred
rights of election by traducing those who
repeatedly receive their fuffrages, as per
sons under a foreign, a Britijh mtereft-—
Yet we find that the good sense, the calm
intelligence, and an inflexible attention to
their true interests on the part of the citi
zens of South Carolina, rife fupeiiorto all
the arts and machinations of the enemies
of peace and our happy conftitution —and
Mr. Smith the real patriot and friend of
his country isre-eledled—altho' his competi
tors are rel'pe&able and ur-doubte d friends
to the constitution and best interests of the
